            CALLBACK FUNCTIONS
            on_connect():
                To use this object inherit from it and define the pure virtual function
                on_connect.  Inside this function is where you will handle each new
                connection.  Note that the connection object passed to on_connect() should
                NOT be closed, just let the function end and it will be gracefully closed 
                for you.  Also note that each call to on_connect() is run in its own 
                thread.  Also note that on_connect() should NOT throw any exceptions, 
                all exceptions must be dealt with inside on_connect() and cannot be 
                allowed to leave.

            on_listening_port_assigned():
                This function is called to let the client know that the operating
                system has assigned a port number to the listening port.  This
                happens if a port number of zero was given.  Note that this
                function does not need to be defined.  If you don't care then
                don't define it and it will do nothing.  Note also that this function
                is NOT called in its own thread.  Thus, making it block might hang the
                server.

            WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
                This object represents a server that listens on a port and spawns new
                threads to handle each new connection.            

                Note that the clear() function does not return until all calls to 
                on_connect() have finished and the start() function has been shutdown.
                Also note that when clear() is called all open connection objects 
                will be shutdown().

                A note about get_max_connections().  When the maximum number of 
                connections has been reached accept() will simply not be called 
                until the number of open connections drops below get_max_connections()

            THREAD SAFETY
                All member functions are thread-safe.
